    Just something regarding cabtyre flex.

    In previous editions of SANS 10142, the use of flexible cords in an installation was illegal as per the wording of 6.1.11. which stated that "flexible cords shall not be used as part of the electrical installation"

    However

    In the new SANS 10142 -1 Edition 3.1 the wording has been changed. It now reads "Where flexible cords are used as part of the electrical installation, the selection, installation and colour identification shall be done in accordance with this part of SANS 10142"

    So according to the above, cabtyre flex is now permitted as long as the colour coding is adhered to and according to 6.1.12, bootlace crimping ferrules must be used to prevent strands of the conductor being cut off in terminations.

    Just a bit of clarity regarding the regs and the use of cabtyre flex.
    Hope this helps.
